Grief Therapy & Trauma Counselling
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
Our Calgary Grief Counselling Can Help You Open the Door to a Brighter Future
Grief is a normal part of life, and everyone tends to grieve in different and unique ways. Grief is categorized as a reaction to any form of loss, including the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of physical capacity due to illness or injury, or even severe financial crisis. Grief can also be anticipatory if, for example, you or a loved one receives a terminal diagnosis. When you are experiencing grief, the whole world can seem dim and unpromising and is often impossible to overcome without help. Grief counselling in Calgary allows individuals to discuss their stories of loss and receive helpful encouragement and positive solutions from a registered psychologist. At Supporting Wellness, we are active and engaged in your journey towards wellness, often supplying you with additional resources to support you in your process. There is light and happiness ahead, and we can help you find it. Request a consultation today.

Dealing With Trauma Through Grief Counselling in Calgary
Grief is complex and deeply personal and a typical response to a traumatic event. Trauma is a distressing event in which a person feels severely threatened emotionally, physically, or psychologically. Trauma may include everything from the unexpected death of a spouse to a natural disaster or an episode of abuse. Such events can instill deep-seated fear, anger, or stress that build up over time. At Supporting Wellness, we have several registered psychologists at our Calgary location that specialize in helping individuals deal with and overcome trauma and grief. They tailor treatment to meet the specific needs of each person but commonly build upon four basic tasks. The steps in overcoming grief and trauma are, accepting the reality of the loss, working through the pain, adjusting to the new reality, and, in the case of a death, maintaining a connection with the deceased. Make an appointment for grief counselling in Calgary and discover a new horizon of hope and happiness.
